So last time we were high me and a friend were talking about how depression is actually a sickness, which is a really cool concept if you think about it. We thought about it by relating the sickness of depression which is essentially a virus for the mind to a normal cold and its symptoms. Just think about it for a second, when your depressed your whole organism feels weak, you feel like you don’t want to do anything. Like let’s face it everyone gets depressed a one point or another and just compare what you felt to another “physical” sickness. There really isn’t that much of a difference.
What we got from this is that, when you get over what is troubling you, you move on and in couple months you don’t even care about what you felt back then. This is a survival mechanism of your body and can explain why some depression can lead to suicide and death. If your body couldn’t forgot or not care about the depression you’ve been through, you will just not be able to continue which would be detrimental to the human race if we were all like this. This is why we came up with the conclusion that depression is truly a sickness in your mind, just like a cold is a sickness to your body.
This can further explain that we just believe we have a “soul” , but in reality we are just a composition of electrons in our brains which is physical. If the receptors of the electrons make you think sad or deep feelings, it will have to change the way the receptors in your brain are connected to forget the sad feelings you have gotten, and make you strive for something else. Therefore, being mentally sick or depressed can just as well be a physical sickness as well.
These are just theories which are not backed up, but are really fascinating to think about while your high!
